Chapter 774: Setting Flags
"You won't unleash that!" **Obelisk the Tormentor** possesses unparalleled destructive power. If Bakura were allowed to release this attack, Hayato, protected by **The Winged Dragon of Ra**, would be fine, but Isis's and Karim's monsters would likely be instantly destroyed, and they themselves would suffer heavy damage.
Taking advantage of 【Diabound】 still charging, Hayato immediately commanded **The Winged Dragon of Ra** to attack.
Watching **The Winged Dragon of Ra** approach, Bakura sneered coldly, "Heh, don't think you can get in my way, Hayato!"
Of 【Diabound】's two fists that were simultaneously charging, one hand loosened and stopped charging. Under Bakura's control, 【Diabound】 split its focus, and with one hand, it once again released "God Blaze Cannon", blocking the attack of **The Winged Dragon of Ra** that was attempting to interrupt it.
Seeing this, Bakura was about to laugh and mock Hayato, but just then, Karim's voice came through: "Don't ignore my existence, Bakura!"
Three beams of lightning struck from different angles, bypassing 【Diabound】, which was grappling with **The Winged Dragon of Ra**, and aimed directly at Bakura. After Karim summoned his **Thunder Dragon**s, he controlled them to fly to different positions, seeking an opportunity to strike.
Although the attack of the **Thunder Dragon**s wasn't among the strongest of the Stone Tablet Monsters, their strength was enough to kill a mere mortal like Bakura. In Karim's prediction, Bakura would have to make 【Diabound】 stop charging and defend against this attack.
Facing the attack, Bakura originally intended to use 【Diabound】's wings to protect himself. After all, when fighting on the ground, the wings had no other use, just like how feet are merely decoration when flying in the sky.
But just as 【Diabound】's wings were about to move, the monsters Isis had summoned earlier had already completed their work. The moment a large magic circle was completed, Bakura felt his body sink and become somewhat strained. 【Diabound】's action also became sluggish, making it difficult to use its wings in time to protect itself.
"You bunch of bastards, ganging up on me!"
"Cut the nonsense! Why would we talk about the code of honor with a Heretic like you?" Karim said righteously, "I, Karim, once traveled far from my homeland to other countries, but with all my vast experience, I have never encountered a vile wretch like you, Bakura, who is filthier than frog's urine and reeks of a disgusting stench!"
"There's only one person on the other side, everyone attack together!"
Upon hearing Karim's words, Hayato felt a great sense of unease, sensing that something bad was about to happen. Can *you*, a minor character, set this flag? You don't have the ability, you know.
Indeed, hearing Karim's words, which were full of condescension and contempt due to his noble background, and watching the attacks from the **Thunder Dragon**s getting closer and closer, Bakura became angry and laughed instead, "Heh heh, a strategy of overwhelming numbers, huh? Then I'll use this power to strike back!"
Under the suppression of the magic domain, 【Diabound】's action became exceptionally slow. But don't forget, Bakura himself was standing on the snake head position of 【Diabound】's lower body, and simply opening its mouth didn't require much effort.
Similarly, lightning wrapped around 【Diabound】's snake head, but this lightning had an aura different from the lightning used by the **Thunder Dragon**s. The power originating from **Osiris the Sky Dragon** caused the snake head's mouth to split into two, upper and lower. The upper mouth opened and rapidly spat out several "Thunder Force" shots that could be used without charging!
The attacks that were already close were swallowed by the "Thunder Force", and even returned in the direction they came from. At the same time, Bakura didn't even forget to destroy Isis's monsters that formed the domain, and even spat out a few "Thunder Force" shots, taking the opportunity to try and take down Kaiba!
"Boom!"
Dozens of "Thunder Force" shots, like raindrops, instantly caused huge trouble. The moment they contacted their respective targets, explosions occurred. After the loud noises subsided, Isis opened her eyes. The style of Stone Tablet Monsters she used were all similar to support types, lacking powerful strength, and were fundamentally unable to resist the "Thunder Force" originating from the power of an Egyptian God. They were all destroyed in that instant.
However, what surprised her was that she hadn't suffered damage from the subsequent "Thunder Force" shots.
As the dust dispersed slightly, Isis noticed some starlight drifting down before her eyes. Looking up, she saw a giant Machine Dragon folding its wings and blocking her front. The pattern on its wings bore some resemblance to the markings on 【Diabound】's wings.
Similarly, in front of Kaiba, who had no ability to summon Stone Tablet Monsters or call his spirit, there was also a different Giant Machine Dragon with a similar appearance and style protecting him.
"**Drytron Meteonis Draconids**, **Drytron Meteonis Dracodes**, beautifully done."
The **Drytron**s protecting the two were naturally summoned by Hayato. Unlike Karim, who was full of confidence in his attack on the few of them, Hayato didn't think Bakura would be so easily defeated by a scheme. From the beginning, he had prepared a backup plan in case the first one failed. At this moment, on his fully set up Duel Arena, the positions in the back two slots also lit up with the symbol of the **Drytron**s.
Being able to summon two monsters besides **The Winged Dragon of Ra** was the limit of the Duel Arena. Even with more slots, the Duel Arena, which wasn't a high-level product of alchemy like the 【Millennium Items】, couldn't bear the burden of more monsters. This meant Hayato couldn't spare any thought for Karim's side.
However, Karim, as a priest, and possessing the confidence to contend with Seto, naturally had his own reliance.
"Before, due to insufficient conditions, I didn't reveal this power to the pharaoh. I can't believe I'm only using it now." From Karim's direction came his forced calm voice, "My 【Millennium Scale】 possesses the ability to harmonize monsters and fuse them into a new existence to release even greater power!"
"I fuse my **Thunder Dragon**s———"
Following Karim's voice, under Hayato's expectant gaze, a giant monster leaped out from the smoke.
"———**Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon**!"
Hayato's body swayed, almost falling over. Looking at **Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon** in front of Karim, which looked like a genetically mutated alligator, he was very disappointed. Hearing you being so arrogant, I thought you could summon **Thunder Dragon Colossus** or **Thunder Dragon Titan**. Why is it this eyesore that lowers the average appearance of the **Thunder Dragon** series?
If you had just played 【Twin-Mouthed Dark Ruler】 directly, it wouldn't have raised people's expectations so much.
However, **Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon**'s theoretical ATK is 2800 points, which is higher than the "Thunder Force"'s instant kill threshold of 2000 points. So, he escaped this predicament this way. Although he's a bit annoying, as a priest, he still knows a thing or two. There really was no need for me to help.
Hayato thought this, completely forgetting that Isis was also a priest.
